Public image: Much to her intense displeasure (and secret amusement), the press only ever reports on her romantic dalliances with various women, both famous and not. Once it was decided that she was a slightly above average beater, the discussion pivoted from her Quidditch skills to never ending gossip. She is often photographed leaving parties and clubs during off season, and high profile gyms.
In the beginning of 2110, Zaz hired her first PR agency. She's since had several small to medium scale campaigns, most notably a summer collection modelling gig for a boutique Italian designer. She's trying to push her agency into letting her Beating skills shine more, but hasn't had much luck with it. Her current image sells better, and she can't deny she is enjoying watching her Gringotts vault grow.
Zaz is known in interviews and appearances for her sarcasm and her snark, often at the expense of her rival teams and players. While this didn't initially make the public take to her, her frankness has been received positively and helped turn her image around. She will always tell it as it is, and has no patience for keeping industry secrets. Zaz has an obvious soft spot for her former classmates from Hogwarts who play in different teams, and they are the only ones she speaks fondly of, other than her own mother.

CAREER & BACKGROUND

Esperanza was born on a balmy December day in Montevideo to Aurora Calderón and Ricardo Agüero. Aurora Calderón, a witch with a passion for muggle sports, was a renowned tennis player in Uruguay and Ricardo a muggle businessman and pilot. Ricardo passed away in a plane crash when she was two years old and Aurora moved them to Oxford a year later without a galleon to their name. Their first few years were very difficult, with Aurora needing multiple jobs to keep them afloat.

Zaz, adopting the nickname very quickly, was an unruly child, always getting into fights with anyone who disagreed with her first in kindergarten and then later on also at school. It wasn't until her mother put a bat in her hand that Zaz started channeling all that energy differently. She grew up a positive and energetic child, always running around from club to club until she settled on the two she loved most - tennis with her mother, and Quidditch.

Her daily life before Hogwarts revolved around those two sports. After school she'd go directly to her mother's tennis academy, where she'd train wit the rest of the pupils before moving on to her Quidditch training. Zaz only dropped daily tennis when she was accepted into the U14 team, and became something fun she did from time to time rather than a serious hobby like Quidditch. She retained her love for tennis through to her adulthood, and she plays during off season whenever she gets a chance.

__[ Hogwarts life will go here :) ]

Zaz was recruited by the Falmouth Falcons immediately following graduation, joining the legendary Zoryn Spinnet to form their beating unit. A year after playing professionally, Zaz joined Uruguay's national team when one of their beaters retired early. She moved out of her mother's place and into her own flat in London at the same time, and portkeys between Uruguay and England whenever necessary.
